Description

ソフトキャンディSoft candy
　本発明はソフトキャンディに関する。 The present invention relates to a soft candy.
　ミント系の冷涼感が感じられる菓子は人気があるが、ミント系の冷涼感が感じられるキャンディは冷涼感を強くしようとすると、ミント系成分の配合量が増え、苦味を増してしまう。
　ソフトキャンディは、そのソフトな食感が好まれ、近年人気の菓子である。しかしながら、ミント系のソフトキャンディは、あまり存在しない。
　ミント系のガムや、タブレット、ハードキャンディはあるが、これらは、ソフトキャンディ特有の、とろけるようなソフトな食感は得られない。また、ミント系の菓子として、これまでにない、新しいタイプの冷涼感を得ることのできる菓子が求められている。 Confections that feel a mint-based cool feeling are popular, but candy that feels a mint-based cool feeling increases the blending amount of mint-based ingredients and increases the bitterness when trying to increase the cool feeling.
Soft candy is a popular confectionery in recent years because of its soft texture. However, there are not many mint-based soft candy.
There are mint-based gums, tablets, and hard candy, but these do not provide a soft and soft texture unique to soft candy. In addition, as a mint-based confectionery, there is a demand for a confection that can provide a new type of coolness that has never been seen before.
　特許文献１は食用油脂を有効成分として含有するミント系香料の苦味抑制剤を開示するが、ソフトキャンディに関する開示はない。
　特許文献２は、非結晶性糖アルコールと結晶性糖アルコールとの混合物を主成分とするシュガーレスソフトキャンディを開示するが、ミント系の冷涼感を感じられる、おいしいソフトキャンディに関する開示はない。 Patent Document 1 discloses a mint flavor bitterness inhibitor containing edible fats and oils as an active ingredient, but does not disclose soft candy.
Patent Document 2 discloses a sugarless soft candy mainly composed of a mixture of an amorphous sugar alcohol and a crystalline sugar alcohol, but there is no disclosure regarding a delicious soft candy that can feel a mint-based cooling sensation.

　ミント系の冷涼感を感じられる、おいしいソフトキャンディの提供。 Offering delicious soft candy that can feel the cool feeling of mint.
　固形分として、油脂を２．０重量％以上１５．０重量％以下含み、Ｌ－メントールおよびその誘導体を０．２重量％以上３．０重量％未満含むことを特徴とするソフトキャンディを提供する。 Provided is a soft candy characterized by containing fats and oils in a solid content of 2.0% by weight or more and 15.0% by weight or less and L-menthol and its derivatives in a range of 0.2% by weight or more and less than 3.0% by weight .
　ミントの冷涼感を強く感じられ、かつ、ミント系香料の苦味が抑えられた、ソフトキャンディの提供、製造が可能となった。また、本発明のソフトキャンディは、口中・のど・食道を、ミント系香料を含んだ咀嚼物が通っていくのを感じられるという、独自の冷涼感を得ることができる。 It became possible to provide and manufacture soft candy that strongly felt the coolness of mint and reduced the bitterness of mint flavors. Moreover, the soft candy of this invention can acquire the original cool feeling that the chewing thing containing a mint-type fragrance | flavor can feel through the mouth, the throat, and the esophagus.
本発明のソフトキャンディの製造の一例を示す図である。It is a figure which shows an example of manufacture of the soft candy of this invention.
　本発明は、固形分として、油脂を２．０重量％以上１５．０重量％以下含み、Ｌ－メントールおよびその誘導体を０．２重量％以上３．０重量％未満含むことを特徴とするソフトキャンディを提供する。
　固形分として、とは、固形分換算割合に基づくことを指し、完成品の重量に占める、対象成分の固形分換算量（水分を除いた重量）の割合をいう。 The present invention is characterized in that as a solid content, a fat and oil is contained in an amount of 2.0% by weight to 15.0% by weight and L-menthol and its derivatives are contained in an amount of 0.2% by weight to less than 3.0% by weight. Provide candy.
As solid content, it refers to being based on the solid content conversion ratio, and refers to the ratio of the solid content conversion amount (weight excluding moisture) of the target component in the weight of the finished product.
　キャンディは糖類、糖アルコール、水あめなどの糖質を主原料とする菓子である。ソフトキャンディとは、やわらかい食感を有するキャンディであり、水分含有量が概ね５～１５％の軟質性のキャンディを指す。 Candy is a confectionery made mainly from sugars such as sugars, sugar alcohols, and candy. The soft candy is a candy having a soft texture and refers to a soft candy having a water content of approximately 5 to 15%.
　また、ソフトキャンディと類似する菓子として、グミキャンディが挙げられるが、グミキャンディとソフトキャンディは、グミキャンディは、油脂を含まず、乳化されていない点、食感（グミキャンディはより弾力が強い）、成形性（グミキャンディは鋳型成形されたものが多い）、などにおいて、異なるものである。 Moreover, as a confectionery similar to soft candy, gummy candy can be mentioned, but gummy candy and soft candy are not emulsified because they do not contain fats and oils, texture (gummy candy is more elastic) , And the moldability (gummy candy is often molded) is different.
　キャラメル、ファッジ、ヌガー、タフィ、フォンダンなどはソフトキャンディに含まれる。 Caramel, fudge, nougat, toffee, fondant, etc. are included in soft candy.
　本発明のソフトキャンディは、油脂を固形分換算割合で２．０重量％以上１５．０重量％以下含む。なお、油脂は水分の含有が０％に近いため、この配合量は、配合割合で求めた場合も変わらない。油脂が１５％を超えると、成形時に物理的刺激により乳化状態が壊れてしまうため、ソフトキャンディとして製造が困難である。 The soft candy of the present invention contains 2.0% by weight or more and 15.0% by weight or less of fats and oils in terms of solid content. In addition, since fats and oils contain water close to 0%, the blending amount does not change even when the blending ratio is obtained. When the fats and oils exceed 15%, the emulsified state is broken by physical stimulation during molding, and thus it is difficult to produce soft candy.

　成形された、ソフトキャンディは、糖衣などのコーティングを施してもよいし、コーティングを施さなくてもよい。糖衣を施す際は、例えば、製造されたソフトキャンディを適宜エージングして、糖アルコール、アラビアガム、香料などを含む生地で、糖衣を行うことができる。 Molded soft candy may be coated with sugar coating or may not be coated. When applying sugar coating, for example, the manufactured soft candy can be appropriately aged, and the sugar coating can be performed with a dough containing sugar alcohol, gum arabic, fragrance and the like.
　以下、実施例に基づき、詳細に説明を行う。ただし、本発明は、実施例に限定されるものではない。 Hereinafter, a detailed description will be given based on examples. However, the present invention is not limited to the examples.
　本実施例において、配合割合とは、それぞれの原料の重量が、完成したソフトキャンディの重量中に占める割合をいい、原料の重量には、製造の過程で増加または損失する水分も含むため、配合割合の合計は１００％にならない場合もある。
　固形分換算割合は、完成したソフトキャンディの重量に占める、原料の固形分換算量（水分を除いた重量）の割合をいう。 In this example, the blending ratio refers to the ratio of the weight of each raw material in the weight of the finished soft candy, and the weight of the raw material includes moisture that increases or loses during the manufacturing process. The total percentage may not be 100%.
The solid content conversion ratio refers to the ratio of the solid content conversion amount (weight excluding moisture) of the raw material in the weight of the finished soft candy.
　本実施例では、図１に示すとおり、ソフトキャンディを製造した。すなわち、はじめに、マルチトール、還元水あめ、アラビアガム、ゼラチン、大豆たんぱく、セルロース、植物油脂、乳化剤、高甘味度甘味料（アセスルファムカリウム、スクラロース）を仕込み、６０～８０℃で溶解し、Ｂｘ（溶液中の固形分濃度）が７１～７５となるよう調製し、これを１１２℃で水分が８％程度となるよう減圧濃縮した。ここに、ミント系香料を含む香料等を加えた。また、本実施例においては、さらに、その後、５０℃にし、マルチトール微粉と、乳化剤を加えて混合した。マルチトール微粉とは、マルチトールの粒径の分布が累積９０％で１００μｍ以下であるものをいう。その後、生地の成形を行った。 In this example, soft candy was manufactured as shown in FIG. That is, firstly, maltitol, reduced starch syrup, gum arabic, gelatin, soybean protein, cellulose, vegetable oil, emulsifier, high-intensity sweetener (acesulfame potassium, sucralose) are charged, dissolved at 60-80 ° C., and Bx (solution The solid content concentration was 71 to 75, and this was concentrated under reduced pressure at 112 ° C. so that the water content was about 8%. To this, a fragrance containing mint-based fragrance was added. In this example, the mixture was further heated to 50 ° C., and then maltitol fine powder and an emulsifier were added and mixed. The maltitol fine powder means that the particle size distribution of maltitol is 90% cumulative and 100 μm or less. Thereafter, the dough was molded.

　結果を表７に示す。
Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-T000007
 The results are shown in Table 7.
Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-T000007
　実施例１５から１８、２１から２４、２７から３０、３３から３６で良好な結果を得ることができた。さらには、実施例１４から１８、２０から２４、２６から３０、３２から３６では、口中・のど・食道への冷涼感について、パネラー全員が高い評価を下した。一方、実施例６，１２，１８，２４，３６については、ミントの美味しさについては、評価が低かった。 Good results were obtained in Examples 15 to 18, 21 to 24, 27 to 30, and 33 to 36. Furthermore, in Examples 14 to 18, 20 to 24, 26 to 30, and 32 to 36, all the panelists highly evaluated the coolness to the mouth, throat, and esophagus. On the other hand, about Example 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, evaluation was low about the taste of mint.
　すなわち、油脂を２．０重量％以上含み、L-メントールおよびその誘導体を０．２重量％以上３．０重量％未満含むソフトキャンディは、口中・のど・食道への冷涼感が感じられ、ミントの美味しさを感じられるといえる。
　また、Ｌ－メントールおよびその誘導体は０．５重量％以上で口中・のど・食道への冷涼感がより強く感じられることが分かった。 That is, soft candy containing 2.0% by weight or more of fat and oil, and 0.2% by weight or more and less than 3.0% by weight of L-menthol and its derivatives can feel a cool feeling in the mouth, throat, and esophagus, and mint It can be said that you can feel the deliciousness.
In addition, it was found that L-menthol and its derivatives have a stronger cooling sensation in the mouth, throat and esophagus at 0.5% by weight or more.
　また、本発明のソフトキャンディは、口中・のど・食道を、ミント系香料を含んだ咀嚼物が喉を通っていくのを感じられるという、独自の冷涼感を得ることができることが分かった。ソフトキャンディは、咀嚼しながら、舐め溶かすため、ガムやハードキャンディよりも、食べているときに、口中、のど、食道を通る、ミント系香料を含む液の量が多い。そのために、口中・のど・食道を、ミント系香料を含んだ咀嚼物が喉を通っていくのを感じられるという、独自の冷涼感が得られたものと推測される。 Also, it was found that the soft candy of the present invention can obtain a unique cooling feeling that the chewing object containing mint-based fragrance can be felt through the throat in the mouth, throat and esophagus. Since soft candy melts while licking, the amount of liquid containing mint-based fragrance that passes through the mouth, throat, and esophagus when eating is greater than that of gum or hard candy. Therefore, it is estimated that a unique cooling sensation that the chew containing mint-based fragrance can be felt through the throat in the mouth, throat, and esophagus is obtained.
